Boehner: I've Been Calling for an ISIS Strategy Since January

9 Sep 2014

Tuesday, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) said he has been calling on President Barack Obama to come up with a strategy to combat the growing threat of ISIS since January 2014.

Boehner said, “I’ve been calling for a strategy to deal with the growing terrorist threat since January when ISIS came across the border in western Iraq. We have a very serious problem and what we need is a strategy, and until there is a strategy, there’s no reason to talk about any of the specifics, because I don’t know how they fit in to the broader strategy … I am looking for a strategy from the president that takes on this terrorist threat and defeats it.”
